Renys Underground - Department Stores Near Me - Damariscotta, Maine

Definitely the worst place I have gone to by far. I went there with my son and hours later I had a cop find me and tell me I had a no trespass order on me this was 6 plus months ago and till this day I am still trying to figure out just what the hell I did to deserve this! only thing I can come up with is that I don't have money to waste on their garbage and they profiled me because of this!! read more

There are usually 2 types of department stores. Sprawling big box stores like Wal-Mart or Target that are rubberstamps of each other and rather impersonal. Then there are quaint and cute stores in small towns that simply does not have the selection or are much pricier. Somehow, Reny's combines the feel of a small town store with a much wider selection and great prices! Do come by often as much of the selection is seasonal and rotates. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the aisles are marked to facilitate safe passage through the store. read more

Really fun time, we stopped in to get some thermos type items to keep our drinks cold, of course we left with more because you never know what you'll find and that is part of the fun. read more

Shoddy clothing. Cold wash, delicate dry, just like the label said. But that didn't stop the shirts from going from an adult large to a child's small in the first wash. 30+ bucks I'll never get back... read more

Renys Underground - Don't buy Baja Joe! - Department Stores Near Me - Damariscotta, Maine

I've been going to Renys since I was born! Our little town wouldn't be the same without Renys Underground. Lots of toys, beautiful housewares and decor and then pet products, hardware, stationary, seasonal stuff (for all 4 seasons) and anything else you need, even food. You can't beat the price of their spices. The Main Store has brand name clothing and accessories but priced right! It's owned by a local family who have genuine small town values and treat their employees right. They strive for great customer service and having what you need in stock, and even better... what you might not need, all at affordable prices. read more

Good ole' Renys I LOVE this store. This is the ONLY store I do not mind shopping for clothing at. You might have to dig a little but the prices are super reasonable.. Selection is vast. And the folks are helpful and friendly, and they know what they have and what they don't. The folks of Maine are lucky to have ah local store like Reny's.. I have never received ah Christmas present from Reny's I did not love. The place sells men's alpaca socks for crying out loud. And I LOVE my alpaca socks ...! read more

Reny's = AWESOME. It's a great place to buy towels, puzzles, plastic horse toys, lawn ornaments, leather boots, salad dressing, shampoo, batteries, napkins, glassware, cookies, coloring books, warm socks, beach umbrellas, and basically anything else in this world that you could ever want or need. The prices are wicked low and the workers are super friendly. Visiting the Pemaquid area and skipping Reny's is pretty much a sacrilege. read more

They're great. They have almost everything. It's sort of like an old fashioned general store on steroids. And everything here is pretty cheap. The only bad thing I can say about them was I couldn't find any decent "I- just-went-to Maine" type t-shirts! Must have been too late in the season. If your going to Maine and you're renting a place and it needs a few things, this is the first place you should stop. It's in town and there are two of them on opposite sides of the street. One has more cloths and is smaller (It's on the North side) and the other is more of a general store (and is on the South side or harbor side of the street). They are a literally within a stones throw of each other. I know this because a threw a stone to find out. read more

Excellent discount store with a find around every corner. You never know what you are going to find. There are bargains everywhere. The employees are friendly and helpful. There is so much in there, stuff everywhere. Inventory is changed frequently, so items you see today may not be there tomorrow. I love this place. read more

I come here every summer when I'm in Maine for vacation. I usually get the same tote bag that is similar to LL Bean's boat and tote bag except its usually white with either blue or pink handles and decorated with moose or lobster. I also used to get a puzzle to do every summer, except their puzzle selection has gone down hill within the past 3 years or so :( I miss those Charles Wysocki puzzles. I was also very pleased with myself for finding the perfect sized buckets for only $1.99 each to go collect rocks or shells on the beach or catch sea life during the beach days. Some kiddie nets would have been cool, but no biggie! read more

Renys Underground - Department Stores Near Me - Damariscotta, Maine

Don't expect a Family Dollar Store type of cheap stuff cheap. This place functions as department store for locals with an incredible range of products available. Just the right mix of necessities, camping stuff, pet stuff, toys, dry goods, and touristy items like the Reny's diner mug which proved irresistible. Like the West Concord Five and Dime in MA, this is a place that encourages buying something, anything! Came here with a friend from Bristol. If I lived nearby, this would be my go-to place for all the things that you DON'T want to go to Walmart for. An original and deserving of our patronage to stave off uniform mediocrity. read more

We love renys. There is always something we need to get for the house or just for fun. You can't beat their prices and variety. If they don't have it,it ain't in Maine. read more

Reny's Underground is a great go-to place for pretty much anything you need, from electronics to spices to camping gear to toys to power tools. The prices are always cheap, and the selection, while not big on the high-end brands, is certainly good enough if you want no-frills solutions to your needs. Fortunetly, this Maine department store chain hasn't lost its small-town mom-and-pop feel or its loyal local customer base, giving it -- at least for now -- an edge in its ongoing fight against giants like Wal-Mart. read more

Omg the shoes at this Renys!!!!!! Tons and tons of boots and things. They aren't in the clothing store but the underground. Found some great boots for my 18 year old that had the rubber at the foot, leather top, and fleece inside at a very reasonable price. As the commercials say it is a Maine adventure. This particular one seems less picked through than some of the others. We even found snow shoes for trekking cross country in the snow. If you see something you like get it then because items do change. Oh and currently wool socks, but 3 get one pair free. :) read more

Renys is a Damariscotta staple. It's kind of like their local Walmart, but with a random assortment of essentials and other things. They've got clothes, dishes and cooking utensils, gardening supplies, cleaning stuff... you name it. The prices are great. For the clothes, they even carry some brand name items now and again. read more

First visit to Maine AND to Reny's. Went twice it was so good. So much to see. Sort of reminded me of the old Kresege's or Ben Franklin 5 and Dimes. Many of the thing we saw at other store were cheaper here, like the gummy yobsters (My hubby asked me to bring him back some lobster...not exactly what he meant, but easier to transport). Even if you don't NEED anything, it is a fun place to poke around, full of authentic local atmosphere. Don't miss it! read more

This store is great, it's always fun to browse and usually we buy great items and leave smiling.

Reny's is the best. I can hardly wait to come every year on vacation and find everything I ever needed, as well as the most unbelievable selection of things that I Could live without, but at those great Reny's prices, why would I? read more

I used to get to Damariscotta more than I do now - no more family there - but I'm now near one of the other Reny's. Every time I go into it, I wish I were in Damariscotta! I wish there were Undergrounds in the other stores - great stuff, GREAT prices. read more
